Leonard S. Kim ’85

Leonard died Aug. 22, 2005, of lung cancer.

He was born in Princeton and graduated from Princeton High School in 1981. At Princeton, Leonard was a trombonist in the jazz ensemble, sang with the Freshman Singers, and was president of the Princeton Footnotes. He was a member of Dial Lodge and ROTC.

After graduating with a degree in civil engineering, Leonard earned a master's in mechanical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He served with the Army until 1991, including a posting in Korea.

At the time of his death, Leonard was vice president and chief information officer for GE Global Consumer Finance, a division of GE Consumer Finance, in Stamford, Conn.

Leonard maintained close contact with his classmates throughout his life, and organized several Footnotes reunions. We will greatly miss his spontaneity and exuberance.

Leonard is survived by his wife, Christine; children Daniel, Max, Brad, and Melody; his sisters, Audrey Finot and Jennifer Lin '92; and his parents, Ho Jip Kim and Soowon Yoon Kim. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them.

Donations in Leonard's memory can be sent to the Leonard S. Kim Scholarship Fund, c/o Princeton University Leadership Gifts, 330 Alexander St., Princeton, NJ 08540.
